No more Texas governors for president
Buh-bye Papa John’s and Applebees.
More white people mourning Romney:
The Modesto Bee (http://bit.ly/TPtRc5) says 22-year-old Denise Helms of Turlock posted the inflammatory comments on the social media site shortly after the president’s re-election on Tuesday.
She used the n-word in referring to Obama and wrote that maybe he will be assassinated this term.
Helms then told a Sacramento TV station that she wouldn’t mind a bit if someone assassinated Obama.
Helms was fired Thursday from her job at the Stone Cold Creamery store.
Store director Chris Kegle says the comments are disgusting.
Secret Service Agent Scott Gillingham in Sacramento says the incident is being investigated.
Wonder if she’s related to Jesse Helms.
Submitted without comment.

David Chalian Fired From Yahoo News For Saying RNC Doesn’t Mind Watching ‘Black People Drown’ (VIDEO)Yahoo News’ Washington bureau chief David Chalian was fired on Wednesday after a hot-mic incident during an online broadcast from the GOP convention in Tampa. Media watchdog NewsBusters was first to post audio of the incident. Politico broke the news of his firing. Chalian later apologized for his remarks.
During the broadcast, Chalian can be heard saying that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his wife Ann were “not concerned at all” and “happy to have a party with black people drowning.” Chalian seemed to be referring to the simultaneous occurrence of the GOP convention convening in Tampa and Hurricane Isaac hammering its way across the gulf coast and through New Orleans.

Like the Two Dads Facebook page if you’re a librarian!
TerVeer has filed a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Complaints Office at the Library of Congress, and a decision will be made on his case in May, after which he can also take his case to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Meanwhile, here is the crap that went down while TerVeer was still a management analyst at ye olde Library.
Terveer claims that once Mech found out he was gay, shortly after he publicly “liked” the Two Dads page, his “once-positive performance reviews turned negative…and his boss started making derogatory statements about his sexual orientation,” per Terveer’s lawyer.
ABC also obtained some of the e-mails that Terveer received from Mech. They contain wonderful words such as:
Jesus prohibited sexual immorality including homosexuality, adultery and pre-marital sex.
And this has to do with books and things how? Also:
Putting you closer to God is my effort to encourage you to save your worldly behinds!
